I’ve only seen parts of 3 and none of 4, but I’d say my favorite scene of everything in the series I’ve seen has to be that sequence in 2 when Sidney and her friend have to get out of the car past Ghostface. Brilliant, suspenseful, Hitchcockian filmmaking at its best—Craven outdid himself.
Nearly just as good is Randy’s call/death scene, as everyone has mentioned. There’s something absolutely brilliant (and, again, Hitchcockian) about presenting such a scene on a bright sunny day in a cheerful, convivial atmosphere. I did guess how the killers were going to do it, but the tension was still excellent.

Only peripherally related to the thread topic, but I always want to give a lot of credit to screenwriter Kevin Williamson. Both Screams I’ve seen are really well-plotted, complete with clues that become obvious on a second viewing. (The double-bluff in Scream is very effective, though it’s a little negated when Billy reveals he was merely “harmed,” not killed.) Not many screenwriters, especially on slasher films, are that clever about their scripts.
Kinda annoyed his script for Scream 3 wasn’t used, as I think it would have been really effective. It’s kind of weird, too, because there’s a script for a Charlie Chan movie in the 30s that uses the exact same twist—and was also never produced. The closest thing I can think of is a twist used in Inspector Hornleigh on Holiday (’39) and The House of Fear (’45), but it’s not actually that close.
OK, musings over.

What did you think of " SCREAM 4" ? I Absolutely Loved It!  I know that it was also written by Kevin Williamson except for the ending at the Hospital which was written by Ehren Kruger and had 1 of the Best Lines (to me at least) out of the whole entire franchise and that line was "You Forgot The First Rule of Remakes Jill, Don't #### With The Original!". By the way, I actually liked " THE HOUSE OF FEAR". I thought that it was a Great and Fun Sherlock Holmes Movie! |

I haven’t seen it, actually, anthonyrocks; I haven’t seen any of the Scream films except for the first two, in fact. Happy you liked The House of Fear! Have you seen any more of the series? I especially recommend The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Scarlet Claw. |

My Top 3 Favorites in the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes series are " THE HOUSE OF FEAR", " TERROR BY NIGHT", and " THE PEARL OF DEATH". |

I think you might have told me this before; some interesting choices. The House of Fear and The Pearl of Death are fairly well-rated by fans of the series, but Terror by Night isn’t… I like it mostly for Bruce, who gets in some very funny scenes with the couple who stole a plate (or something) and the nutty mathematics professor. Rathbone looks a little bored and the screenwriter tips his hand too quickly towards the solution, but it’s a fun one. More apropos of your topic, what’s your favorite Scream movie, and why? |

LOL, It was a Tea Pot that the couple stole. |

OK. So I’ve been reading Toasted Cheese’s thread on Psycho II, which I still haven’t seen yet, and it got me interested in the Psycho sequels, which I’ve heretofore thought were widely considered inferior cash-ins on Hitchcock’s film, and Robert Bloch’s sequels to his book Psycho. Anyway, point is, the more I read about Bloch’s books (one also called Psycho II, though it apparently bears no resemblance to the movie, and one called Psycho House), the more I kept thinking, I’ve seen these plots before. And I have indeed seen them—in the Scream movies. Genuinely. Bloch’s Psycho II, or at least its plot-synopsis, is nearly a perfect forerunner of Screams 2 and 3, and Psycho House for Scream 4. I’m absolutely betting that Kevin Williamson read these. |

I’m absolutely betting that Kevin Williamson read these. I haven't read the books, so can't comment on any differences, though I have heard that Bloch's Psycho II bears no resemblance to the film. The screenplay only boasts a credit that it is based on characters created by Bloch, other than that, it is an original story and follow up to Norman Bate's character from the original.
The premise is cheesy—no way, after those atrocious crimes and the manner in which Norman committed them—would he have EVER been released, and while the story is a tad convoluted, to my mind it still works out beautifully and this is due to the excellent acting—Perkins is just dandy—and presentation of the film.
I’m definitely going to see it one of these days. Maybe closer to Hallowe’en this year. |

“Barney Fife” is a pretty good way to describe this guy. Does this town do elections to the sheriff’s office? I hope so—he couldn’t have gotten the job based on merit.

Surprisingly good twist re: “I’m inside the closet.” Something like it has been in tons of movies (The Silence of the Lambs most notably), but I didn’t see it coming.
I’m annoyed at the movies-within-movies, though. That seems to make it really moronic.

Anyone else notice that Ghostface’s voice sounds like Freddy Krueger in this one? anthonyrocks? I just keep laughing at this movie every time Ghostface kills someone. He keeps killing people in just the goddam stupidest ways. |

Or that the guy with the stupid camera on his head sounds exactly like Jesse Eisenberg in Batman v Superman?
